“You don’t have a right to the cards you believe you should have been dealt. You have an obligation to play the hell out of the ones you’re holding.”
Cheryl Strayed
We, as a society have recently learnt that situations do not always go according to plan. Things happen and we need to make the best of what we have. It is not always possible to do things the way we are used to doing them. Sometimes, we need to make-do with situation, which what we have at our disposal; sometimes we need distance education. So, the question is, what is distance education?
It is the educational engagement where students can learn using means of information like the electronic media, phone, emails etc., from the comfort of their home or elsewhere. Students usually opt for this option when they are already employed and cannot afford to attend on-campus classes. We know now, there are many other situations which motivate us to opt for distance education like pandemics.
Opting for distance education can, in fact, offer many benefits. We’d like to list out some of the benefits we feel might be of interest to you!
Distance education is a good option…
…if you are otherwise occupied
There could be several reasons why a person could be otherwise occupied. It could be a business, a job, or family responsibilities. Whatever the reason, distance education offers an opportunity which the student otherwise would not be able to avail.
…if you need a more economical option
Distance education equips students with a degree or a diploma in a much more affordable fee in comparison with an on-campus one. It helps in cutting out many extra costs which you would otherwise need to pay, even if those services are not of much use for you.
…you are different than others
Everyone has their own pace of learning and catching up on information while retaining it. You might be someone who retains it instantly, or someone who takes some time to do so. For many, social pressure hinders learning and may even cause them much distress. Distance education comes to the rescue! It allows learning at a pace which is comfortable for the learner and allows a socially anxious person to maintain their space during the process.
…Upgrade. Update. Wherever. Whenever.
Whatever age you may be, whatever stage of life you may be at, distance education will not stop you from getting the education that you want. With distance education you can easily upgrade your qualification as well as your database of knowledge.
If you love knowledge or if you simply need to upgrade your qualification, whatever the case may be, distance education has become an extremely viable option. It is one of the most economical, time-saving, and flexible learning options that is readily at your disposal. Make full use of it!
All the best!
